The Magic of Norwex EnviroCloth
Have you ever heard of Norwex? If you’re new to Norwex, then you might not yet know about the EnviroCloth. This cloth is gold! Almost literally — its silver-infused fibres bring it pretty close. The microfibres are infused with a silver-based agent that inhibits bacterial growth, helping the cloth stay fresh and odour-free for longer. Known for its impressive cleaning power with just water, the Norwex EnviroCloth has the potential to replace a handful of household cleaners when used correctly. Its ultra-fine microfibre weave allows it to trap dirt, grime, and bacteria with just water, eliminating the need for chemical cleaners. The fibres are 1/200th the thickness of a human hair, creating a dense surface that clings to particles and removes up to 99% of bacteria from surfaces. The EnviroCloth includes a unique feature called BacLock® technology, which sets it apart from other microfibre cloths. If you’re sensitive to chemicals or simply looking for a safer option, this cloth is a fantastic choice!
The Power of Vinegar
Further Benefits and Applications
De-calcifying Faucet Head by Soaking — For a thorough cleanse, remove the faucet head and soak it in a bowl of vinegar for an hour. This method effectively dissolves calcium deposits, restoring your faucet's flow and shine. After soaking, rinse it with water, and it's ready to be reattached. Caution: If your faucet is made of delicate materials like brass, nickel, or other special finishes, it's best to test a small, inconspicuous area first or consult the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations to avoid damage.
